It has been shown that successful reperfusion of the infarct-related artery by thrombolysis can prevent left ventricular dilation after acute myocardial infarction; these beneficial effects were detected from several days to several months after infarction. To date, however, no study has shown that these effects can be demonstrated within hours after the onset of infarction. Furthermore, data are scarce on the independent impact of thrombolytic therapy and late vessel patency on ventricular volume and function. The aim of this study was to assess separate effects of thrombolysis and patency of the infarct-related artery on left ventricular size and function by serial two-dimensional echocardiographic examinations.
